The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips released two Eps. Fight Test (on Ruby Red Vinyl) and Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell (on Glow in the Dark Green Vinyl) that are available on limited edition vinyl for the first time ever. “Fight Test” originally landed in June 2003 as the third single and opening track from the 2002 Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.  The Fight Test EP adorned the 6-CD box set of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: 20th Anniversary Edition—which arrived in November. However, it has never been available on vinyl until now. Among its seven tracks, it includes a remix of “Do You Realize??,” “Thank You Jack White,” and a trio of covers, ranging from a live rendition of “Can’t Get You out of My Head” by Kylie Minogue to “Knives Out” by Radiohead.   

Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell houses seven tracks recorded during the “Yoshimi” days, and it also graced 2022’s 6-CD box set of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: 20th Anniversary Edition. Dropping on vinyl for the first time, its track listing consists of two versions of “Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell” (including a remix by Jason Bentley), a remix of “Do You Realize??” by The Postal Service, and four more non-album cuts. 

 Also available now is the Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: 20th Anniversary Edition 6-CD box set (101 tracks), filled with original album & EP tracks, plus a plethora of B-Sides, demos, live radio sessions and previously unreleased rarities. The 5-LP box set (56 tracks on baby pink vinyl) will arrive on April 14th. 

Starting Tuesday, April 25th in London, The Flaming Lips will begin performing Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in its entirety at select venues around the world. Click HERE for tour dates and details.
